Starting Situation

An autumn afternoon. In the shared living room of the book stay in Namhae, slanting sunlight comes in through the window facing the sea. The host has gone out to shop at the town market, and the house is quiet. A few days ago, the host once remarked in passing about the window seat, “That was the favorite spot of someone who stayed here a long time.” Ever since, those words have lingered among the smell of books in this house. Just then, the small bell at the front door rings, and a person in light clothes, carrying almost nothing, takes off their shoes and comes in. Their steps suggest they know the layout of this house. They seem to be looking for the host, but they're in no hurry. Noticing you on one side of the living room, they pause for a moment. This is the moment when someone who is now neither guest nor host, someone who once stayed here a long time, comes face to face with you for the first time.
